Av a pool over which is erected a stone bridge appear three 
washerwomen, engaged in their avocations. An attendant 


is following a cow and sheep passing over the bridge.

dulating landscape that extends over interspersed groups 
of trees to the haze of the distance. On the left the sky 
is a rich blue; on the right a heavy cumulus of cream-grey 
clouds is rolling ponderously across the heavens. The time 
is evidently autumn as the foliage in the large trees flank- 
ing the canvas on either side has begun to take on the 
ruddy and golden tints of the fall season.

A BRILLIANT canvas that will repay the closest scrutiny. 
The numerous figures are drawn with astonishing fidelity 
and show masterly technique in the rendering of facial 
characteristics and forms of animals. There are, moreover, 
broad effects of vigorous brushwork—notice the fine aban- 
don and assured mastery of cloud-bank and perspective. 
The charm and archaic quaintness of the scene are allur- 
ing and compelling. It is evident that the ancient Hol- 
lander knew well the joys of winter and the pleasures of 


relaxation.

roofs as a medium for the play of high lights caused 
by rifts in a blue and white sky, a sky so low as to seem 
almost to find anchorage on the buildings themselves.

(WILLIAM OF NASSAU) 


Height 1814 inches; width 1614 inches 


THis original drawing was purchased by the Prince of 
Orange (William IJ. of Holland) from the collection of 
M. Stier d’ Aertselaer, Antwerp, 1822. It was then 
bought by Lord Grimthorpe at the Wilham II. of Hol- 
land Sale. Then again purchased by I. Waagen of Lon- 
don at the Lord Grimthorpe Nephew’s Sale by Robinson 
Fischer & Co., 1907. Afterward purchased by the Marble 
Arch Gallery, London, from the heirs of I. Waagen 
1914, from whom the present owner secured it. Examples 
of this kind are of the greatest rarity and are seldom 
seen beyond the walls of museums. The drawing is superb. 
Apart from the unusual record of authenticity that ac- 
companies it, the sketch would of itself, proclaim the 
master draughtsman.

On a road bordering the Hudson appear three pedestrians 
while over and beyond various sailing craft Manhattan

Giovanni Paolo Pannini

119—VENETIAN RUINS 


Height 24 inches; length 29 inches 


Many critics prefer Pannini to Canaletto, the mediaeval 
adept in architectural details. Certainly the former’s 
work is more varied and evinces a mastery of color and 
landscape features that was never possessed by Canaletto. 
The present example is conclusive proof of Pannini’s pos- 
session of both these qualities.

120—THE QUAY BRIDGE 
Height 29 inches; length 39 inches 


A MOST interesting composition, which in addition to 
superb handling of architectural details, is somewhat anec- 
dotal. ‘Two armored soldiers and two attendants are 
leading to the galley ship (a portion of whose hull is seen 
through the archway on the left), an aureole crowned 
personage whose hands are tied and whom the artist has 
evidently intended to designate as saint or martyr. The 
slight portion of the sea that is visible shows the familiar 
Pannini treatment of waves, 1. e., a primitive representa- 
tion of a methodical regularity in their surge and re- 
cession.

Height 25 inches; length 39 inches 


THOUGH an exceedingly cleverly drawn facade of a marble 
building proclaims the Pannini origin of this painting, the 
artist has shown a facile mastery of landscape painting in 
a more emphasized way than is usual with him. For a 
country of rare beauty nearly fills the entire middle distance 
and background of this suave and charming composition. 
A tree in the left foreground shows rhythm in linear Grane

is seen the sea; on the left a fortress or castle at the 
base of a pyramid-shaped mountain peak. The char-

the extreme geometrical correctness of structural details 
unmistakably suggest this as the work of Pannini. |

a few sheep. The sky is painted with an assured and

At the foot of a mountain almost denuded of trees except 
those of stunted growth is a French chateau erected on 
the borders of a placid stream. The main feature of the 
composition, however, is the hunting party of gayly ap- 
pointed equestrians, who, with their attendants, are closing 
in on a stag, which is about to be pulled down by the 
hounds. 

There is in this composition an interesting study of various 
shades of green, ranging from the delicate emerald tint of 
the woods about the chateau to the rich olive of the for- 
ests in the immediate foreground. The deep tints of wood- 
land verdure are in turn diversified by the various growths 
of light brown.

the animal’s head a peasant woman, in drab overdress and 
underskirt of red, is playing with a small dog, who is 
pulling at a rope which she holds. There are three no- 
ticeable features in this fine painting—correctness of 
draughtsmanship, fine landscape perspective and masterly 
sky treatment. 


Signed at the lower middle, E. J. VERBOECKHOVEN.

165—A SOUTHERN SUNBEAM 


Height 32 inches; length 45 inches — 


A CHARACTERISTIC example of this artist’s work, consisti1 


of a group of nine care-free gamins—newsboys, boot- 
blacks, &e. A small negro—the “Southern Sunbeam” — 


clapping of a bootblack seated on his box. : 
finely drawn and the expressions excellent. There is fine 
tactile strength shown—one feels the very palpability of 
the figures. The handling of light and shade is excellent. 
This is probably the .artist’s most important composition.

166—LANDSCAPEH AND STREAM 


Height 20 inches; length 35 inches 


A TINY mountain lake enclosed, gem-like, in a setting of 
towering hills. The left foreground is filled with mas- — 
sive boulders. To the right there is a profusion of 
brightly tinted wild flowers. The background of forest 
is aglow with the changing hues of autumn. The som- 
breness of the sky is somewhat relieved by a delicate suf- 
fusion of mauve. " |

Homer D. Martin, N. A. 
AMERICAN: 1836—1897 


167—_SUNSET ON SPRUCE CREEK 
Height 20 inches; length 30 inches 


A DEEP pool in the center foreground is bordered by a 
grove on which is vaguely defined a fruit orchard. On 
the right rises a craggy cliff with dead trees in skeleton 
silhouette; on the left a sweep of verdured upland. The 
extreme west is illuminated by the hot glow of a fiery sun- 
set. An important and striking canvas palpitating with 
color. This painting is the companion piece to the noted 
“Sunrise ” by the same master.

168—STILL LIFE—FLOWERS, FRUIT AND BIRDS 
(On Panel) 


Height 35 inches; width 26 inches 


THis splendidly painted canvas seems to arrest criticism. 
The tints of the variously colored clusters of grapes in 
their setting of autumn-turned leaves are exquisitely ren- 
dered. Beyond a background of woods is seen on the right 
a glimpse of landscape. In its tactile strength this 
painting is reminiscent in one respect of the still-lives of 
that super-artist, Cezanne, in that it possesses to a marked 
degree that triumvirate of qualities so striven for by ar- 
tists, so seldom attained, viz.: the three dimensions, 
length, width and a solidity of structure, that we uncon- 
sciously feel would be as real to the touch as it is to the 
eye.

169—THE FOREST FIRE a 
Height 20 inches; length 24 inches | 

On the right a forest fire, with the sinister yellov 
crimson flares of a conflagration at its very height. 
dark density of the woods appears deeper by contras 
is lighted sporadically by the red and lurid tints o 
angry sky that show through interstices in the foliag 
the trees. A powerful and impressive canvas.

Height 16 inches; length 20 inches 


into the lurid stretch of cloudbank massed on the horizon. 
The sky in the center is high and overcast with threat- — 
ening clouds shot with crimson. In the left foreground — 
appears a slender stretch of water with an Indian in a~ 
canoe. ‘Two trees stand, sentinel-like, on either side of 
the canvas and are surrounded with stubby woods.

Height 10 inches; length 1114 inches 


A CHILD’s féte-champétre with children at play, dancing, 
ete. A tree whose upper branches disappear in the top 
of the panel is the point around which the young people 
gather. A pleasing composition with excellent handling 
of light and shade.

(On Panel) 


172—A LAKE IN THE WEST 
Height 2314 inches; length 28 inches 


Two men in a canoe-shaped boat are hauling down the sail 
as they have become becalmed. ‘The waters of the lake 
are placid and the very stillness of a quiet day in autumn 
is felt as one gazes at this inspiration of Catlin. The 
rendering of the sky is excellent, depicting the inevitable 
lull before the storm of a day in Indian Summer. A 
rugged tree rises almost to the top of the picture on the 
right, adjoining a large stump of a former giant of the 
forest. In the middle distance igs seen a range of moun- 
tains and to the left a heavy clump of woodland. 


Signed in the lower left, Gro. CATLIN.
